I brought my 2002 S80 T6 to the dealer for a promotional oil change. I also told service that coolant had begun to leak. Dealer advised that there was a recall on software, and he replaced it. Then, after 2 separate repair sessions, I'm being told that the power steering clamps need to be replaced; that the coolant reservoir is defective and needs to be replaced; and that there are major oil leaks which require replacement of breather and evidence of leaks along the turbo lines. Dealer says the car could seize without the repair. I've maintained the car regularly (oil changes every 5k) and never noticed low oil; no signs of low pressure or leaks on instrument lights. Of course, when I brought the car in, it had 50,900 miles, and Volvo is disclaiming on the warranty. Needless to say, I'm unhappy that Volvo is not willing to stand behind what was their top of the line ($43k new) car which I bought new in 2002, just because the car is 900 miles over the 50k warranty. It's clear that the oil leaks started long before the car hit the 50k mark, but there was no instrumentation signal of any problem, or I would have had it in for repair prior to hitting the 50k. I haven't seen any recall info on this problem. I've bought lots of other new cars over the years - BMW, Acura, Nissan, VW, and I've never had to engine repair a 3-yr. old car. Anybody have any similar problem?
Thanks.
